Simply Music's "iClass Sounds":

Songwriting, composition and performance workshops combine live performance and technology using guitars, keyboards, vocals and multiple iPad's with GarageBand music software.

We bring the technology & the musicians to you. Workshops are facilitated by one/two professional musicians who arrive with our JamHub ‘silent rehearsal studios’ so you don’t have to worry about the workshop interfering with other classes in the school.

What students get from our workshops:

•            Understanding of new and emerging music technology software

•            Engagement with professional musicians

•            Participation in an engaging composition-based workshop

•            Participation and collective music-making

•            Understanding technologies associated with music recording and production

•            Social engagement and participative learning through music

•            Fun and enjoyment
